I bought two of these to use as bedside tables. The boxes arrived pretty beaten up, but the pieces were all undamaged due to lots of styrofoam all around them. Assembly was easy, about a half hour each. There were a few nicks and marks on exposed areas, but not enough to warrant replacing them, and the unexposed areas were all really marked up. One cam lock broke during installation--the metal for them is soft, almost like pewter--definitely too soft to do their job. Ive now had the tables for a week and they continue to reek of chemicals, though not nearly as strongly as day 1. The box actually declares the coating contains lead, so dont let kids or pets chew them! Overall, they fall into the murky category of: if I could unbuy them I would, but theyre not so bad Im getting rid of them.
Lead, smelly, otherwise nice
